IMPROVEMENT IN ORDENING-APPARATUS.

To ALL wHoM IT MAY Acoscienti:-

Beit known that I, E. J. MOORE, of Westfield, in the county of Chautauqua, andlState of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Churning-Apparatus; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which willenable those skilled in thevart to make. and u'seythe same, reference being had to' the accompanying drawings,.forming part of this specication, in which- I Figure 1 is a side view of my improved churning-apparatus, partly in section, to show the construction.

Figure 2 is a detail sectional view of the same, taken through the line :u x, g. 1. i

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. l

My invention has-for its object tof'furnish an improved apparatus for churning, so constructed and arranged that the work maybe 'done quickly, thoroughly, and easily, a large proportion of the labor of working the dasher being performed by mechanical power.

And it consists in the construction of the dasher,-and in the construction and arrangement of the parts by which said dasher is operated. V

.A is-the churn body, about the lconstruction of which there is nothing new.

B is the dasher-handle, which passes down through the churn-cover a', and to the lower part of which are attached two or more dashers, O. l

The dashers C are made heavy, and concavo-convex'in form, are attached to the lower end 'of the handle B, alittle distance apart, and with their concave sides downward, so that they may easily pass up through the cream, the said cream readily sliding olf their upper or convex `sides. A

The dashers C are perforated with numerous holes, so that as the said dashers descend, the milk or cream may be collected or drawn into the concavities of the flashers, and forced up through the said holes, throwing the said milk into violent agitation, and bringing the butter in a very short time,

D is a lever, adjustably pivoted to the upper end of the standard orsupport E, the lower endrof which `is securelylattached to the platform or bed-plate F, as shown in Afig. 1.

To each side of the forward end ofthe lever D are pivoted the upper ends of two pairs of short connectinghairs, G, toor between the lower ends of which are'pivoted bars, II.

In the slottcdforward end ofthe barl H, when one bar is used, or in the space between the forward ends of the bars H, when two bars are used, is pivoted the upper end of the dasher-handle B, by a pin passing through the end of the bar or bars H, and through one or the other ofthe holes formed through the upper part of the said flasher-handleB, so that the daslfer may be adjusted according to theA height of the churn or the amount of cream to be churned at a time.

By this 'arrangement of the-bars G and H, levier D, and dasher-handle B, the said dasherfhandle Bwill move up and down vertically, while the.forward end of the lever D is moving through an arc of a circle.

I is a balance-weight, adjustably attached to the free end or handle of the lever D, so` that by adjusting the position of the said weight, the said lever` may be made'to work with the desired ease.

. The weight I may be secured in place, when adjusted, by a set of screws, as shown in fig. 1.

J is a weighted lever, the rear end of which is pivoted to a stationary standard or support, or to the stand-4 ard E, as shown in iig.l 1. V Y

i Tothe forward orwei'ghted end of vthe lever J ispivoted the lower end of the connecting-bar K, the upper end of which is pivoted tothe rear end of the bar H, or between the rearends of'the bars H when 'twobars are used.

L is a rubber or other elastic cushion tereceive the free or weighted end of the lever J, to prevent the jar or concussion at the close of the downwardmovement of said'lever.

As the dasher C is raised through the cream, by depressing the free end of the lever D, the Weighted lever J is also raised, and by its weight, when descending,'forces the said dasher down through the cream, relieving the operator from a large part of the labor of churning. v

If desired, the weighted lever J may berplaced by a. weight sliding up and down vertically between guides, and connected'with the forward part ofthe lever D or barsH, by a rope passing yaround suitably-arranged pulleys; or it may be replaced with a. balance-wheel, connected to the forward part ofthe levei- D, by a crank and pittnan. l Y V But I prefer the construction first described, as being simpler, and more eective to accomplish the desired result'. Y

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The combination of the bars Gr and H, adjustable lever D, and adjustable lasheiwhandle B with each other, substantially in tlie manner herein shown Yand described, and furthe purpose set forth.

2. The combinationof the adjustable,balance-weight I with the leveuD, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

3. The combination of the weighted lever J', or its equivalent, wthtlle'bars H or forwarfl part of the lever `D, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

E. J. MOORE.
